High Schools That Work

State Leadership in Improving High Schools for More Students

by Gene Bottoms

For the first time in 1998, half of vocational students at SREB’s High Schools That Work sites met the HSTW achievement goals in reading, mathematics and science. SREB knows that most vocational students can meet the goals and knows how to make it happen. SREB and partner states must plan and act purposefully to help these students. This publication contains recommendations for actions that states can take to raise standards and achievement.

Keywords: vocational students, High Schools That Work performance goals, HSTW-recommended curriculum, HSTW Assessment, school reform, end-of-program exams, state leadership, state actions
